Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented. Dec. 16, 1919.

Application filed April 23, 1919. Serial No. 292,022.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, EMMoR H. KELLEY and GEORGE A. STEWART, J r.,citizens of the United States, and residents of South Brownsville, inthe county of Fayette and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certainnew and useful Improvements in Stands, of which the following is aspecification.

Our invention is an improvement in stands, and has for its object toprovide a a stand especially adapted for use in repairing and testingengine cylinder blocks, particularly of the Ford type.

In the drawings:

Figure l is a perspective view of the improved stand.

Fig. 2 is a side view of the same;

Fig. 3 is an end view;

Fig. 4c is a partial end View, showing the movable portion in differentpositions.

In the present embodiment of the invention, the improved stand comprisesa base composed of longitudinally extending plates 1, and connectingcross plates 2, all of the said plates being of angle material, asshown.

One of the plates 2 is connected at the ends of the plates 1 by means ofvertical angle plates 3, and the other cross plate 2 is spaced apartfrom the adjacent ends of the plates 1, and the extended ends of theplates 1 have wheels 4: journaled thereon. The plates 3 extend below theplates 1 and provide legs for supporting the base at that side, theother side being supported by the wheels 4.

Standards or uprights 5 are secured to the plates 2 intermediate theirends and these uprights 5 are braced against the plates 2 by inclinedbraces 6. They are also braced against each other by an inclined brace 7and by a cross brace 8 intermediate their ends.

Inclined braces 9 are also arranged be tween the plates 2. The uprightsare of T material as shown, and a movable support is connected with thetops of the uprights. This support comprises a pair of cross heads 10which are pivoted to the uprights as indicated at 11, and the crossheads are connected by angle plates 12 and 18.

It will be noticed that the cross heads 10 are of angle material as arealso the plates 12 and 13, and the cross heads have the horizontalportions at the top and extendand may be released to permit the movableportion of the stand to take the diiierent positions shown in Fig. a.That is, the

stand may swing with the plates 12 and 13 at either side of theuprights.

In use, the cylinder block 16 is arranged as shown in Fig. 2, restingupon the plates 12 and 13. In placing the cylinder block the parts maybe arranged as shown in dotted lines at the left of Fig. 4:, that is,with the movable portion of the stand vertical and with the plates 12and 13 at the left of the uprights. The support may now be tilted intohorizontal position or it may be tilted into the full line position ofFig. 4c.

Referring to Fig. & it will be seen that that portion of the plate 12which is per.- pendicular to the plane of the cross heads is higher thanthe corresponding portion of the plate 13. The vertical portion of theplate 18 has openings as shown in Fig. 1 for permitting the engine to besecured thereto.

The stand is portable either with or without the engine in place, andpermits the en gine to be turned and held in the best working positions.It in no way interferes with the dismantling or assembling of the parts.

We claim:

A stand of the character specified, comprising a base having at one sidesupporting legs and at the other side supporting wheels, uprights on thebase and arranged in a plane transversely thereof and intermediate theends of the base, a movable support for the cylinder block connectedwith the uprights to swing thereon, detachable means for holding thesupport in horizontal position, the side of the base carrying the wheelsbeing extended beyond the uprights.
